I teach Environmental Science at an all girls high school in Kansas City, MO.

Grace joined the NAAEE team in September 2021 and works as an Event and Executive Coordinator. She was raised in western Massachusetts where she developed a deep appreciation and love for the surrounding environment. Grace began her journey in Washington, DC by attending American University, where she earned both her BA and MPA in 5 years. She studied a combination of environmental studies, public health, public administration, and nonprofit management. She comes to NAAEE with a background in programming for youth development, education, and in-person and online farmers markets.

My motto is strategic thinking for practical results! I like to start with the big picture, thinking about all the amazing ways that people in the field of EE are striving to make the world a better and more inclusive place for all our wonderful diversity. Then I seek to collaborate with people who bring many ways of knowing and lived experiences to developing strategies and pathways that lead to practical actions and results.

Hi! I'm Roberta, and I'm a non-formal environmental educator in Lexington, Kentucky. My interests are technical and science communication, DEIA, digital accessibility, and community engagement. In my work for the KY Division for Air Quality, I help Kentuckians understand what's in the air they breathe and what they can do about it. I've worked in EE for more than 40 years, and air quality is the most challenging topic I've encountered in terms of teaching and helping others understand.

Some fun facts about me: I've helped map passageways in Mammoth Cave National Park and Kartchner Caverns State Park. Although my primary work has always been in environmental education, I once took a temporary job doing singing telegrams!
